Local author and ex Mount Carmel College student Anne Morgan, was the visiting author to the College at the beginning of Children’s Book Week last week.

Anne thrilled her primary school audiences with personal accounts of her writing experiences and animated readings from her series of books about Captain Clawbeak the pirate and her book Warts and All.

She was skilled in the art of bringing her characters to life for the children and her “acting out” of the characters was accompanied by two colourful parrot puppets as well as rollicking pirate songs played from her computer.

The centerpiece of the Book Week display in the College Library was a wonderful collage construction of the Story Bridge, created by Mrs.Judi Kearsley.

During Catholic Education Week MacKillop Catholic College, with the Tasmanian Catholic Education Office and the Archdiocese of Hobart, hosted a State Art Competition.  The portrait prize “The Arch’s Archie” acknowledged the Archbishop of Hobart, The Reverend Adrian Doyle, and the Archibald Prize for portraiture.

The theme for Catholic Education Week “We are Church” informed the challenge to our students to create two dimensional works on paper or canvas depicting the lives of inspiring people of spirit, who have demonstrated justice, love and compassion.

Last Wednesday afternoon at the Diocesan Centre, the winners of the Competition were announced.  Congratulations to Emily Stolp of Year Nine who took out the Upper Secondary Award with her work The Spirit.  Rebecca Healey’s The Journey is the Reward, Madeleine George’s Community, Lucille Sadek’s Our Inspiration, Rosa Miller’s Climb to Reach Your Dreams and Olivia McGow’s See, Say, Do and Be the Difference were equally impressive.

In the Upper Primary Section, Alice Sandric’s Peace and Holly Molnar’s Prayer were awarded Honourable Mentions, so congratulations on your efforts, girls.  Works from Guinevere Bristow, Earth Prayer, Isabelle Odgers, Together, and Madeleine Jarvis, Mary MacKillop, were also of a fine standard indeed.

Thanks to all those teachers who nurture and sustain such inspiration, in this case especially Mrs Di Buddle and Mrs Kylie Button who encouraged the students to submit their entries.  The Exhibition will be displayed at the Diocesan Centre in Tower Road for another week and if you have the time, it is well worth a look!
